Afin de protéger l'humanité qui perd jour après jour des combats spatiaux contre une entité extraterrestre nommée les Wulgaru, des unités mecha possédant un système se liant directement aux émotions du pilote sont développées en secret. Tandis qu'une des bases de défense mondiale humaine est sur le point d'être détruite par l'ennemi, la décision de lancer le projet MJP est prise par les hautes instances. Cinq étudiants, encore en formation mais ayant révélés d'excellentes aptitudes individuelles, se voient alors confiés cette ultime technologie. Se retrouvant du jour au lendemain au cœur de l'affrontement, ils deviennent ainsi, sans le savoir, le dernier espoir de l'humanité.

Personnages principaux (spoilers possibles)
Team Rabbits
Izuru Hitachi (ヒタチ・イズル Hitachi Izuru) Doublé par Hiroki Aiba
16 year old Izuru is the main protagonist and leader of Team Rabbits, piloting the all-round mecha "Red 5". He is a positive thinker whose dream is to become a hero and he loves to draw manga. His pit crew is composed of some mechanics that act together as a family and quickly welcome him as part of them. Just like the other evolved children, his memories from before joining the military academy were erased. Despite this, Izuru somehow remembers about Teoria, and she mentions that they were very close in the past. It is later on revealed that his and Asagi's paternal DNA came from the same people.
Toshikazu Asagi (アサギ・トシカズ Asagi Toshikazu) Doublé par Shintaro Asanuma
17 year old Toshikazu is the forward of Team Rabbits and the oldest member, piloting the attack oriented mecha "Blue 1". He will also occasionally act in place as the leader of Team Rabbits when Izuru is unable to. He has an extreme case of stage fright and a chronically upset stomach. His pit crew is composed of three members of the same family, including a little girl. It is hinted that he may have feelings for Kei. It is later on revealed that his and Izuru's DNA came from the same person, Commander Simon, making them "brothers."
Kei Kugimiya (クギミヤ・ケイ Kugimiya Kei) Doublée par Yōko Hikasa
16 year old Kei is the control of Team Rabbits, piloting the sensor/radar oriented "Purple 2". She has excellent hearing and the hobby of making and eating sweets with lots and lots of sugar. Her pit crew is composed of beautiful and dignified ladies, leaving Kei to give her best to look up to them. As the series progresses, she begins to show romantic interest in Izuru, and is uncomfortable with his closeness to Teoria.
Tamaki Irie (イリエ・タマキ Irie Tamaki) Doublée par Yuka Iguchi
15 year old Tamaki is the booster of Team Rabbits, piloting the heavily armored "Rose 3", a mecha designed to put enemy formations in disarray with its speed. A romantic convict, she has a tendency to ask whoever men she finds handsome to be her boyfriend, without even getting to know them better, leading to her being always rejected. She did not know that Patrick was in love with her, but accepted his feelings after his death. Her pit crew is solely composed of fat and unattractive men, much to her dismay.
Ataru Suruga (スルガ・アタル Suruga Ataru) Doublé par Junya Ikeda
16 year old Ataru is the gunner of Team Rabbits, piloting the "Gold 4", specializing in sniping and long/middle range support fire. A military geek, his enthusiasm with military hardware usually annoys those around him, especially the girls he usually try to flirt with. However, this also makes of him one of the most versatile pilots, as he can easily choose the best load-out for each sortie from the vast kinds and variations of weapons at his disposal. His pit crew is composed of strong men that insist that he must build up some muscle.
Ange Kuroki (クロキ・アンジュ Kuroki Anju) Doublé(e) par Akeno Watanabe
15 year old Ange is the youngest member of Team Rabbits who joins halfway through the series piloting the "Black 6", specializing in mid-range artillery and close quarters combat. So far it is unknown if Ange is male or female and the rest of the team has divided opinions about it. Despite being farther skilled and better trained, Kuroki is usually shy when speaking to others, but displays a vicious and berserk demeanor when in battle. Ange's mecha has an automated maintenance system that dispenses the need of a pit crew most of the time.
Team Doberman
Randy Maxwell (ランディ・マクスウエル Randi Makusuueru) Doublé par Anri Katsu
Leader of Team Doberman who always wants to display a cool attitude.
Rakesh Chandrasekhar (ラケシュ・チャンドラセカール Rakeshu Chandorasekāru) Doublé par Yuki Fujiwara
Sub-leader and the level-headed member of Team Doberman. He has a fiancee who seems to be little older than him and intends to marry her once the war is over.
Patrick Hoyle (パトリック・ホイル Patorikku Hoiru) Doublé par Ayumu Murase
Youngest member of Team Doberman who later develops a huge crush for Tamaki.
